MFB 522 sound examples from a amazona.de review

Sounds great, but they really should have added normal outputs and eight more buttons for the steps.

I guess if you add all those things the price would be something like 500-600

how do work the step sequencer on the mfb?

I've had the mfb stuff in my hands at a local music store and they're tiny and feel very cheap^, the demos sound pretty good, like good imitations of classic gear.

My MFB 522 turned up today and it sounds lovely, although it is a bit fiddly to program the 16 steps as you have to press the shift key to access the even beats (2, 4, 6, 8, etc.).  I'm not that bothered as I'm triggering it via midi but you've got to put it in perspective and for 280 euros I don't think you'll get a better sounding analogue drum machine.

Wonder if that's something you'd get used to or maybe a constant pain in the arse?

It didn't take that long to get use to programming with the shift key and the manual is clear and well written (you can download it from the site).  When it's used as a drum module you get 2 kiks  and 2 claps on seperate keys, one with a short decay and one with a long decay which is pretty cool.  It's simple to use and you don't have to go through annoying sub menus to alter the sounds.  It's simple to use and it's cheap.  What more could you want?
